VESSEL REVIEW: A new research vessel was recently handed over to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research of New Zealand (NIWA). 'Kaharoa II' was built by Armon Shipyard of Spain to a design by Norwegian naval architecture firm Skipsteknisk to replace an older, slightly smaller similarly named vessel that has been in service for more than 40 years. The onboard facilities include wet and dry laboratories of more than 12 square metres (130 square feet) each, a conference room, and five cabins. The aft deck has a total area of 85 square metres (910 square feet) for the transport of additional equipment. Full article link in comments.

THE PORTUGUESE SCIENTIST KING. HIS MAGESTY DOM João II. The Portuguese maritime epopeya was not by chance, it was based on science and paved the way to the modern Naval Architecture. This picture on ceramic tiles illustrate the first ship experimental tank. Two naval architects discussing their drawings, the king supporting them and a laboratory assistant blowing wind into a caravel model sails. Behind the king an interesting instrument based on the pendulum theory, which was used to correlate the sail area with wind speed and the propulsive sail force. Far away, at sea a great Caravel, and on top of the King's head the astrolabio the amazing Portuguese navigation instrument. This amazing picture belongs to the #LNEC, National Laboratory of Civil Engineering in Lisbon, at one of the doors of the hydraulics labs. TecnoVeritas is following the Portuguese Marine Innovation tradition. #TECNOVERITAS #MarineEngineering #Innovation #DecarbonizationOfShipping #RandDMarineEngineering #MSVascodaGama #ShipRevamping

Naval architecture, the art and science of designing boats and ships. It involves knowledge of mechanics, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, steady and unsteady body motion, strength of materials, and design of structures.

[HYDROCLASS IS HERE!!] AREK KAPAL YO KUDU ISO GAE KAPAL, LUR! Hydroclass is an activity Run by BSO Hydromodelling. This activity is aimed at new students of Naval Architecture.This activity is designed to introduce them to the exciting world of RC Boats. It aims to spark their interest and enthusiasm by showing how these boats work and what makes them so fascinating. Through hands-on sessions and interactive lessons, students get to dive deep into the mechanics and design, learning not just the theory but also practical skills. They’ll explore everything from the initial design stages to the final touches, getting the chance to build their own RC Boats from scratch. It’s all about turning curiosity into passion and giving them the tools and knowledge to create something amazing themselves. Hydroclass is divided into 5 parts, each covering a different topic: Part 1: Design Practice Part 2: Production Part 3: Electrical Part 4: Piloting Part 5: Internal Race

FEATURE: Norwegian naval architecture firm YSA Design has unveiled a concept for a new type of sail-powered catamaran cruise ship that offers the flexibility to access waters where larger vessels will have difficulty operating. YSA Design said the design includes a host of features to attract premium-end cruise guests while combining the sustainability of sails and a four-metre draught in a 104.5-metre-long ship with access to shallow waters. Dual hulls counteract listing under the sail to maintain stability and comfort for up to 200 guests on board. Four 50-metre-high foldable sails will be mounted on six-metre-high bases on deck to capture the wind. Engines running on green bio-methanol will sustain hotel operations and – if wind was insufficient – the main propulsion, although the ship will also be enabled with a hybrid drive to incorporate silent running on battery power.

Designing the perfect tailor-made vessel is a challenge that Vard Marine Inc rises to every day with the help of NAPA’s design tools. Denley Rumbolt, P.Eng. Project Naval Architect, and lead NAPA user at Vard Marine explains how the team at Vard Marine takes customization to new heights -making every detail unique to the customers’ needs and preferences. While such levels of customization are no easy feat and can entail numerous iterations of the proposed design, our NAPA design solutions help give naval engineers more flexibility to manage the multiple iterations that are inevitable with novel designs, as well as the ability to validate the feasibility of concepts earlier in the process. Pretty cool, right? Read more about how NAPA helped Vard transform and digitalize its workflows to enable innovation at speed and scale. https://lnkd.in/g79_prPD #Maritime #ShipsandShipping #ShipDesign

Flexibility has steered us through 20 years of complex naval architecture projects. From the very first day, we have worked closely with our clients to find the optimal solutions for their evolving maritime demands. #bluelines #20thanniversary #flexibility #navalarchitecture #marineengineering
